AMBER FAHRNER BLOG POST # 9

"One generation makes the money", Harrow told her once. "The next generation protects the money. The third runs out of it. People always forget what it takes to build a family fortune."

I think the quote represents how investment does not last forever. That people can take money for granted, or that people can take anything for granted if they are not careful. The quote means to be how things that are valuable can run out at anytime if one is not careful. That your belongings can be passed down from child to child and it will all run out if one chooses to be careless. I chose the picture of money on a toilet paper roll because it represents how endless amount can be taken without paying attention if you just grab a long strand. How money or anything valuable to a generation can just be used up so quickly by being careless and wasting away what should be passed on over years and years. So people need to be careful with how much they take and think about the other people that will also be in need.
